I couldn't remember who she had the love scene with in that film, so I Googled it and guess what the first thing that comes up is? The exact same post from the same poster, but on a completely different forum:

I've always been under the impression that it was common knowledge that Hollywood was a dark place, full of secrets and bad shit. This stuff isn't new. But it amazes me that as long as the internet has been around and it's first form of social interactions, why this stuff is just now coming out the way it is. Did it take someone to turn a pound symbol into 'hashtag'?
It's almost like someone was weaponizing kompromising information and strategically releasing it... as a distraction.

Seems pretty silent on that story since he posted the texts. He is, considering he's been dropped already however we still don't know the truth of the situation

Aisha Tyler brought up Chris Hardwick at the start of AMC's "Unapologetic" last night at the start of the show. My DVR cut off in the middle of what she was saying when it switched from Dietland to her show, so I didn't completely catch what she said. I heard her say that Chris has been her friend. I think she said their show wouldn't shy away from discussing the topic, but they didn't bring it up the rest of the show. Hopefully, it pops up on YouTube so I can hear the whole thing. It might be on demand also.

i hope that means AMC is keeping an open mind in the event that things turn out to not be as they seem now.

Well, the guy from MTV's Catfish just got put back to work on the show after they did an investigation and found the accusations against him baseless. I don't know how they can determine what Hardwick did or did not do when most of the accusations seem subjective and happened over a long term relationship.

Apparently Janet Varney, another of Hardwick's ex's, has spoken out to the LA Times regarding her time being with Chris.
http://www.latimes.com/entertainment...y.html#nt=card
Actress Janet Varney, who dated Chris Hardwick and remains his friend, says the embattled comic and TV host never abused her during the seven years they were together.
Hardwick has been under fire, and his work life has been affected, since actress and cosplayer Chloe Dykstra wrote a post earlier this month that accused a former boyfriend — widely presumed to be Hardwick — of abuse.
“The last thing I wanted to do was to complicate an already complicated situation, and this statement isn’t intended to weaken or drown out the voices of those who have bravely moved us forward in the fight against all forms of abuse,” Varney told The Times exclusively in a statement Tuesday.
“But I have also only grown increasingly concerned each passing day about the myriad of ways that my silence could be interpreted, and have felt compelled to share my own experience,” said Varney, whose work includes “Stan Against Evil,” “You’re the Worst” and “The Legend of Korra.”
Without naming Hardwick directly in her June 14 post on Medium, Dykstra accused a former boyfriend of abusing her both emotionally and sexually and imposing controlling rules during their three-year relationship. She also accused him of blacklisting her in the industry after they broke up.
Hardwick has denied all allegations while admitting he and Dykstra had a turbulent relationship and weren’t a good match.
Varney had a different experience from the one Dykstra described.
“Over the seven years Chris and I were together, I was never subjected to any kind of sexual abuse or controlling behavior whatsoever,” Varney said. “Since our breakup in 2011, we have remained friends.”
